Imagine a world in which no one dies - not from accidents, murders, or natural disasters. It sounds idyllic, but just because no one can die doesn't mean they shouldn't die. Ra's al Ghul has left a world filled with miserable, self-aware, reanimated corpses for the Batman to deal with. And when Gotham City's hospitals, homes and streets begin filling with the undead, the Dark Knight is the only one with a chance to discover the secret behind their continued animation. In order to do so, he must discover Ra's al Ghul's centuries of secret world travels!

The explosive conclusion of the 2-part Prestige Format miniseries revealing everything you wanted to know about the Scarecrow's origin…but were afraid to ask! While Batman and Robin race to learn the identity of Gotham's newest villain, the Scarecrow continues his murderous revenge spree. The clock is ticking - and more than one life hangs in the balance!
